I’m not sure but my watch may have an original Accutron strap on it. I hope it’s not original because I damaged the strap near one of the pins and that is the reason for this post. I wanted a different strap and figured it wouldn’t be a problem changing straps. I do this stuff all the time (not on this watch though). So, new strap comes and lo-and-behold, I can’t get my tool on the pin to detach it. I try both ends of both sides of the strap. Nothing works. I stretched the leather…

I just got my M8 Spaceview back from Rob B. It is wonderful, looks almost new.
It is on a cheap no-name fake croc…

Does anyone have a link or resource to answer my question about this Caravelle case. I‘ve seen a number of these watches (identical models) on eBay for sale. Most that list the case as gold tone and a few list it as gold-plated. Most sell for around $5…

My dad received this accutron watch when he retired from a tobacco company called Dimon back around ’96-’98.

Lets see your latest Bulova…
When I was growing up. My Dad and all his friends had these tiny rectangular Bulovas. I saw them all together last week and knew I had a hole in my collection that I had to fill. I found this 96G34 A6 in great shape for a nine year old. One more hole f…
Continue readingI Have ZERO idea that this was even possible….
When my Dad passed away a few decades ago I got his watches. His daily watch was one that my sister had given him when it was new. I’m going to guess that was maybe 1972 or so.
Continue readingA few weeks ago I got this watch out for the first time in at least 25 years. I wound it, set the time and date and put in on my wrist. To my complete surprise, the watch is keeping nearly perfect time. Again, I have zero idea how that was possible. Does anybody know something about the movement that would have…
Help With RR Approved 218
I have a RR Approved Accutron with a 218 movement. It was running and humming great, then it quit running. I put it away for a while and then recently I got it out and decided to replace the battery. Replaced the battery and it is still not working. Can anyone out there repair it without charging me an arm and a leg? I know, if you are going to play like a man you’ve got to pay like a man. I am 74 years old on a fixed income. Not looking for a handout but I just can’t afford a lot. I just…
Continue readingBulova Lunar model chrono issues
Afternoon all,
Continue readingWell I have encountered a problem on my Lunar model Bulova with the chrono function. The tenths of second doesn’t work nor does the top left dial that keeps track of minutes. Upon pressing the top chrono button, the large chrono hand starts, stops, and resets fine. Its just the two smaller dial hands that now do not work. Actually the tenths hand does not point straight up any longer either. It’s strange since I hardly even wear the watch.
I will send it back to Bulova…
Bulova 96B440 SUPER SEVILLE Bracelet Sizing
Hi all,
This Bulova 96B440 SUPER SEVILLE was a gift. Unfortunately, after taking out all of the links, the bracelet remains too large.
Are there any options for a smaller bracelet or adapter?
Given that it was an integrated bracelet, not sure if it…
